Nothing offensive about either. But there’s no doubt that if done right (ie wrong), a beard can make you look like a homeless fellow.

And part of the fun is trying to draw that line and then enforce it. For some groups, it’s just easier to ban beards entirely. For example, I went to a university where beards are prohibited unless you got special permission for a beard card due to medical or religious reasons. I suspect part of it was a bit of backlash to the extremes of the 70s on college campuses.
